Ladakh Landscapes

It was a wonderful road trip and that i can remember forever. We left for Delhi ...on 25th evening and on 26th to Leh by flight.

Day 1 : We visited Shanthi StupaDay

Day 2 : All the monasteries near by leh. Starting with Hemis followed by Thiksey, Shey palace, Sindhu Nadi and Stok.

Day 3 : Start of an adventurous road trip by bikes. We rented 2 bullets, 1 Thunderbird, 1 Avenger and a Pulsar. This was the day we all experienced altitude sickness at Khardunga Pass, the highest motor-able road in the World. Our journey continued towards Nubra Valley(Near Indo-Pack LOC)

Day 4 : Back to Leh from Nubra Valley.


Day 5 : Pangong Tso Lake(Near Indo-China LOC). This lake is of 135kms long and 2 Kms wide. 45Kms of it is in India and rest is in China. In winter it will be frozen and no one except indian army is allowed to be at that place. Stargazing in the night near the lake was an unforgettable experience.


Day 6 : Back to Leh from Pangong Tso Lake. We passed through the Third Highest motor-able road on the way.

Day 7 : Journey towards Tsomo-riri Lake (Near Indo-China LOC). Beautiful place near the border. We had a wonder tea time with nomads near this place for half an hour.

Day 8 : Back to Leh from Tsomo-riri. This time it was Second highest motor-able road on the way.

Day 9 : The best and scary experience of Rafting in Indus river. Many whirlpools, hot sun and finally ended with raining experience while rafting :D :)This is gist of our 9 day Leh Trip. Once our travel log is well written will share it soon :) Thanks guys :)
